Carole, he is one awesome tegu, and I am not saying that because he is one of my stock. He is a real looker, it also seems like all of the selective breeding is paying off. I breed for the color, size and disposition, he looks like he has it all. :)

Hi, thanks for all the compliments guys! I hope he stays all bright like that. They dont fade with age do they? Or do they?

Thanks,
Carole

Thanks Bobby. I just love him so much. I do wonder about overfeeding. How many times a week should a tegu this size/age be eating mice and how many at a clip?

Thanks,
Carole & Jasper

that tegu really is black and white! ha ha I mean to say that his contrast is really clean, compared to my tegu, which is more dirty, grayish (probably has to do with sleeping in dirt all day but that's besides the point ha ha). Really handsome boy you have there!

He don't look too fat to me, he looks very healthy. I would not change a thing. As for the color Nat, there are duller looking tegus than others, this is what I am breeding for, the lighter colors.

I know of one male out of my stock last year that reached 40 inches in one year. It looks like Jasper is trying to catch him, he is well on his way. :)

Hi, I have no idea why Jasper is as big as he is. He is a good eater but I am only feeding him what I am told is the normal diet. Today he has turkey (with vitamins and calcium mixed in), smelts chopped up and some leftover corn thrown in cause it was there.

Thanks for all the compliments. I am going to measure him again today. At last measurement 2 weeks ago he was 33"!
